I too have a Yamaha guitar with cedar top. The Savarez white card strings make the guitar ring. A friend started me on the red cards but only the A rang out. The white cards work great.

Thank You.

Savarez Classical Traditional Low Tension Set

Wow, I have been using Savarez strings for many years. They are a very unique string, in my opinion. I would recommend for Guitars and Requintos.

Matching the guitar is critical

I've used these strings for years on a Yamaha guitar with a cedar top. On that guitar, they sound wonderful, with the slightly muted, soft sound that I prefer. So, when I bought a Cordoba, with a spruce top, I naturally installed these same strings. Not the same synergy at all. On this guitar, I get a "honk" sound, more like a ukelele. Not terrible, but not the same mellow sound I get on the Yamaha (cedar) top. Lesson: Each guitar is different.
